The Shots survived a trip to giant killers Yeovil drawing this tie 1-1 in front of 10,600 fans thanks to a goal from Bill Lacey, the replay at the Rec also finished with the same score. The second replay played at Southampton's Dell saw the Shots victorious 3-0, where two goals from Bill Lacey and one from Len Gaynor saw the Shots through to face Reading in round two.

It took two attempts for the Shots to take care of Dartford, the first game was drawn with Chamberlain scoring before 5,700. Peter Kearns scored the only goal in the replay at the Rec watched by 9,100.

Having only managed to draw 1-1 at the Rec thanks to a late Malcolm Crosby goal this turned into a reasonably comfortable trip to Dorset for Aldershot, with Terry Shanahan and John Duingwoth scoring for the Shots before a gate of 3,468.

A bitterly cold day in East London watched by Aldershot's lowest ever away FA Cup crowd of 1,897 was memorable only for the result. Terry Shanahan & John Dungworth were again the scorers seeing the Shots through to round three and a trip to Sheffield United.
